Our non-profit, communitysuccess.org will accept used equipment that 
will benefit under-privileged people/kids. And, we can furnish you with 
a tax receipt. I'm trying like MAD to get past the stinking router that 
AT&T provides, as I have a Proxmox box running about 5 VM's and I need 
the router to provide NAT to our 5 static IP addresses. I'm up here in 
South Hill VA with a diabetic foot ulcer problem and the folks we have 
down there in the Raleigh office aren't making headway with the 
configuration. That switch might provide that??

We've tossed a bunch of P3's away as being pretty much unusable for 
those who are computer challenged. But, I remember when I would have 
killed for one to replace the 486!! Those P3's might be better suited 
for a robotics class to use??

If anyone has an old NEC Spinwriter, let me know! Sometimes you REGRET 
the things you have tossed! Hopefully I will be able to come down there, 
with or without the foot, and visit! I miss the company of hackers and 
geeks! Ric
